A woman on the run checks in to the Sleep Tight Motel. It's not clear who she's running from, but the threatening texts she keeps receiving indicate an abusive ex ? getting closer all the time ? and she's so scared of being found that she doesn't even want her car to be visible fro...

Thrilled to be part of DARK CORNERS, a collection of chilling stories from fave authors Jennifer McMahon, Joyce Carol Oates, Adam Haslett and more. We all love to be afraid of the dark don?t we? These are some super spooky tales just in time for Halloween!
Hope you enjoy THE SLEE...

An excellent, spooky short story just in time for Halloween. I really liked the first person POV, it made the story even creepier and I felt like I was right beside Eve freaking out with her. ...

Meh...take it or leave it. ...

CindySep 29, 2018

I had pre ordered this book and couldn't wait to read it! Once again, Lisa Unger does not disappoint. This was a short read that is perfect for a quick bedtime story if you like creepy, dark stories before bed. I personally do!
There were times I cringed and wondered about the outco...

Enjoyable short story (from the Amazon "Dark Corners" series) about a girl (Eve Brown) with a fake ID, stolen money, and a gun who is on the run with an abusive ex following her and sending her threatening texts. She needs a break from driving for so long, so when she sees an isolated ...

Eerie throughout, this was an intriguing (and quick) Halloween read or listen. I liked how the story was told and progressed, and I liked the ending. It hits the creepy on a couple of different levels and was a well-done horror short story. ...

MichelleOct 07, 2018

I am on a roll with this series. Read two of the seven and they are totally creepy. My goal is to read them all today. Good stuff. ...

Beth RobertsOct 03, 2018

Now this is an effective short story. Very well done. I've a thing for crows - I love it when they pop up in a story, mythology and all.
Also, as brief as this was, it had some pretty keen insights:
It's such a female thing, to reflexively apologize for everything, for your very ...

Getting ready for Halloween!
This was a fun read. ...

Linda StrongSep 29, 2018

She has a fake ID, a bag full of money, and a gun and she's running just as fast as she can, as far as she can. Behind her is her ex-boyfriend who keeps texting her ... I'm right behind you.
Scared, and deadly tired, she happens upon a small motel. If she can just get a couple hou...

Holly Oct 07, 2018

This one just never felt like it came together all that well. The twist was not surprising, though I didn't guess it early on, but by the time it happened, I don't know. I didn't feel much for this one, nor for the main character. I don't think this collection is for me.
Rating: 2.5...

A quick read for Halloween season.
A woman on the run, a strange motel, noises in the night, and a twist ending. ...

Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ MartinOct 29, 2018

I loved the motel, Drew and the ending a lot!
Happy Halloween! ?

One is generous
This barely counts as a short story. Potential oozes from this piece but it fails to even make a college try at good writing. ...

HeidyOct 04, 2018

I liked the twist, but I'm confused about Drew's situation. ...

CD {Boulder Blvd}Nov 11, 2018

Very, very short novella that I read for free on Kindlr Prime. It was OK, but I definitely wouldn't pay to read (too short). It works as a time passer. ...

Mary CarrascoNov 09, 2018

A beautifully written little story! Haunting for sure. ...

This was good, even if somewhat predictable. Predictable doesn't always mean bad, however.
A young woman gets mixed up with the wrong guy and ends up in the middle of a robbery and murder. She pulls into a quiet deserted hotel to hide out. Then things get weird.
I ca...

The Sleep Tight Motel is my favorite of the Dark Corners collection that I've read so far. It immediately sucks you in and makes you feel for the same character. There's this sense from the beginning that something really isn't right. Watching it unfold - though - it's not scary. It's ...

SarahSep 29, 2018

I was excited as soon as I saw Amazon's Dark Corners collection--a bunch of spooky stories just in time for October, and it's available to read and listen to on Kindle Unlimited. This one was nice and creepy and I loved the atmosphere. I didn't particularly like the ending ((view spoil...

Not bad, not great. Reads like a harliquin story. Nice middle of the road kind of tale. worth a look at ...

JuliOct 24, 2018

Lisa Unger never disappoints me! The Sleep Tight Motel is my favorite story in the Dark Corners Collection from Amazon/Audible. The Collection gathers seven dark, emotional tales from bestselling authors. The stories aren't really horror in the true sense, but more like dark looks into...

BethOct 02, 2018

are u a scary story halloween fan?
Oh my goodness, what a great idea ...from the 7 books the ones I did enjoy the best were "The Sleep Tight Motel" 1st & "Hannah-Beast" 2nd, if you know anything about Beth... I love mysteries ...but I don't really enjoy the scary parts. I love p...

SelucaOct 10, 2018

2.5 rounding up to 3. I was hoping for something a bit creepier but Lisa Unger is always a solid read for me. ...

Nick YounkerDec 21, 2018

That was an hour of my life I'll never get back. It's unfortunate that people with obvious writing skills lack the creative fortitude to create something that hasn't been told in thousands of different stories.
The problem with junk stories like this is people read them thinking th...

MarieOct 18, 2018

3,5/5 This is was a perfectly spooky read for October, the story was interesting and the twist surprising. ...
